Though my plantings were delayed due to never-ending rain, and a chilly spring, they seem to have caught up. Now my fear is it's so freakin' hot it's going to cook everything! It's been a long time since I've seen a summer this hot, nor one with so much rain.

Ohio, it's possible the profusion and size of the tomatoes you mentioned was due to their being next to a red brick wall. I don't know that for a fact, but I know if you put red plasic under a tomato plant it will increase the size and production of tomatoes.

My lettuce is fried from the heat; happened so quickly! Wretched weather; burning hot, and rain about every other day.
